Avalon Oil & Gas Signs Letter of Intent to Acquire
Working Interest in Grant Parish, Louisiana.
January 30, 2007
MINNEAPOLIS--Avalon Oil & Gas,
Inc., (OTCBB: AOGS ) announced today, through its relationship with
KROG Partners, LLC (“KROG”) , a Kilgore, Texas based
operator, that Avalon, KROG, Avalon’s advisor, William Anderson
DBA Anderson Oil & Gas, Inc. (“Anderson”), and another
partner have jointly agreed to acquire one hundred percent (100%)
working interest in a six well production property located in Grant
Parish, Louisiana from a Lafayette, Louisiana based company. The
letter of intent provides the opportunity for Avalon and its partners
to conduct a sixty day test of the productive capability of the property,
as well as customary due diligence, prior to the acquisition.
The property consists of five shut-in wells
with production potential in the prolific Wilcox production interval
and one salt water disposal well. These wells were drilled in the
early 1980’s by an independent
producer. Avalon believes that there is significant oil production
potential in many of these wells, and that a minimal workover program
is required to return the property to production. The salt water
disposal well is also anticipated to be capable of disposal of significant
volumes of produced water, resulting in highly economic production
of the anticipated 10% oil cut in this property.
Avalon and its partners will commence operations
shortly on the testing, which includes lowering one of the pumps
in a wellbore, in order to assure productive capability prior to
acquiring the property. Upon successful test results, Avalon will
have the opportunity to own an undivided twenty five percent (25%)
working interest in the property, subject to a proportional reduction
due to the retainage of a twenty five percent (25%) back-in by
the existing owner upon payout of all of Avalon and its partner’s
capital costs. A due diligence evaluation has also commenced on
the property.
Avalon and KROG are continuing their focus on enhancing operating
synergies in the Southwest Arkansas, Northwest Louisiana and East
Texas region through acquisition of other mature production in the
area. The area immediately surrounding these new properties consists
mainly of independent producers.
